www.bathbombworld.com.au Note : None water soluble Lakes colour requires polysorbate 80 to disperse the colour which I put in my bath bomb mix. Lakes dye does not require polysorbate 80
I have seen the recipe but it did not stay long enough for me to write it down so I looked it up and you did not have it in your box plus all the different colors have blind the degrees so I can write it down when you please put it in your inbox so I can write the recipe down I live here in United States
in my book called The beginners guide to making bath bombs . it says 2 teaspoons of water do l change it to witch hazel ? as l'm new to making bath bombs
yes witchhazel works better in my opinion :) remember only use a bit at a time as the wet ingredients can make it react too much too quick if too much is added too quickly, I know this comment was from 3 yrs ago but just in case i thoight I'd answer, good luck!
Good afternoon!! I always love coming back and rewatching your videos! ; ) Did you use 91% alcohol in your recipe? Would love to see more videos, I've watched them all! LOL ; ) Stay safe...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!! xo : )
You all probably dont care but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Darren Braydon Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I tried this recipe but my embeds came out extremely sticky. What could I be doing wrong? Your video doesn’t look like the texture is extremely sticky.
Hey Hailey! I know this was a year ago but thought I might reply. We are different climates and the humidity varies, that will effect your bath bomb and embed recipes. Not one recipe is exactly good for everyone. You could add a bit more baking soda and citric to get your mix dryer. Try and not add too much liquids...do a spray or two if its needed and mix well. Add slowly to get the right consistency. Just tweak the recipe to your specific needs and you'll do fine!! Have fun...Be safe!! Big ((Hugs)) from Texas!! xx : )
Laura Dreamy Gallery Not sure if you got your answer yet, but there’s Lakes, Micas and Water Soluble Dyes. Micas are cool for bath bombs but there isn’t a lot of water payoff, lakes and dyes have a lot of color payoff in the water, but the lake is basically a diluted dye. You’ll need Polysorbate 80 for both the mica and the lake to help distribute the color and prevent a ring (from the pigment) from forming around the edge of the tub. If you’re in the USA, the lakes and dyes need to be batch certified, the mica does not. Hope this helps!
bizzyb0507 hi! So it’s kind of like baking, you want to put all the dry ingredients together and in a separate bowl/cup/whatever you want to mix the wet ingredients. If you’re using Lakes, you dont have to bloom the colorant (which you do for dyes which is mixing the pigment with water then adding it to some baking soda for ultimate color payoff in the bath bomb. You DO NOT have to do this with Lakes) so you just throw in the Lakes with your baking soda, citric acid and other dry ingredient mixture. And then separately make your wet ingredients (with the poly 80) and once you mix all of that together slowly add to your dry ingredients while whisking so you don’t activate your bath bomb. I’m not sure if you’re asking if you substitute the sweet almond oil for poly 80 or if I recommend subbing the sweet almond oil for a different type of oil?
Hi Alice the Poly 80 is in the Bath Bomb they go into for Lakes colour but is not required for Lakes dye as it is water soluble and won't stain your tub
Thank you so much, I am so excited by all your videos, I have been trying so many recipes, and different things and you just put it all together so perfectly that it all makes sense and comes together! Thanks so much, you have the best videos of all!
yes I saw the recipe at the end it but it didn't stay in long enough for me to write it down I look in your inbox for the recipe but it wasn't there will you please give me a recipe again for my in bed and thank you very much Sabrina
Hi Andy, My name is Patience and I have started a small business selling bath products at local Farmer's Markets and craft fairs. My Mom has been helping me find recipes but we cannot find a decent one that gives us BB's that spin and float. The ones we make fizz a loooong time, but they sink. Our recipe is 2 cups baking soda, 1 cup citric acid, 1 cup corn starch, 1 cup epsom salts, 6 Tablespoons coconut oil, liquid coloring (we haven't found a decent powder) and essential oils. We spray water until they are the right consistency, and then pack them tightly, let them dry 24 hours. We have tried both witch hazel and alcohol, but for some reason it is very easy to make them too wet with these two (not sure why? It seems like water is easier to get to the best consistency and be able to stop before the mixture gets too wet. With the other two, the moistness is almost a delayed reaction. No idea why... lol) Some tutorials say don't pack too tight, others say pack tightly... gah!! Like I said, ours are good, they fizz and smell amazing, but they just won't float and spin!! Any suggestions? thanks so much!
Sounds like you're packing way too tightly. Watch Deans video on bath bomb making and also AtomicBalm Bath n body is excellent at giving tips and teaching. Both of them recommend packing lightly to make sure your bombs float.
Hi Lynette, I'm in Australia so I'm not sure but I have seen a company online called Crafters Choice who I believe sell Bath Bomb Colour which I believe to be Lakes dyes.
Lynette Bobs and Alice O'Brien, in the U.S. you need to use Certified Dyes and Certified Lakes if you are going to sell your bath bombs, Wholesale Supplies Plus gets there colors certified, but they break them up so , then they are no longer certified, Natures Garden doesn't have powdered Certified colors either I don't think, but they may have liquid colors which are ok I think, American Soap Supplies sells Certified colors, Two Wild Hares on Etsy sells Certified dyes, so does Unicorns Pride, and Nurture Soap Supplies, they all get limited amounts and run out often so it's hit or miss right now, but, it looks like more companies are getting Certified colors !
